BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN used to be a lovely community of Norwegian, Italian, and Jewish immigrant families…now it’s teeming with Muslims and no longer is lovely

The Republican U.S. Representative, Dan Donovan, who represents Staten Island and the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn is under fire for supporting President Donald Trump’s executive order banning Syrian refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. Most of the protesters weren’t even Muslims, they were Leftists.

Protesters disrupted a Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce forum featuring most of Brooklyn’s congressional delegation Monday, repeatedly shouting down Republican Congressman Dan Donovan for his support of Trump’s executive order. Donovan told the audience, “Our enemy ISIS has told us that they are going to compromise the Syrian refugee program,” and judging by the terror attacks all over Europe, they have.

In late 2015, Donovan voted to pause the Obama administration’s plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. “This vote is about keeping our city and country safe from radical Islamic terror, a threat New Yorkers know all too well,” he said at the time. Donovan, who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, has defended Trump’s move, saying it was in the nation’s best security interest.

Protesters, many constituents of Donovan’s from Bay Ridge and Staten Island, rose to their feet, holding up signs with anti-ban slogans like “Ban Dan” and “Bay Ridge Will Remember 2018.” An apparently sympathetic audience clapped, as a police officer informed the protesters that they would have to sit down or be escorted out.

One protester, marching out of the auditorium, turned back to the crowd and shouted, “Black lives matter! My son has a disability. Protect the ACA! MUSLIM LIVES MATTER!”

Cindy Trinh, 33, held up a large sign saying, “Daughter of Vietnamese Refugees Against The Ban,” and screaming, “No Muslim Ban, Ban Dan Ban Dan!” Trinh pointed to the significant Arab and Muslim population in Bay Ridge and blasted Donovan for what she said was a failure to represent his own constituents.

“They live in Bay Ridge and he supports the banning of them. How can they support their own congressman? How can they live in Bay Ridge feeling safe that their congressman doesn’t even have their back.”

The crowd was largely friendly to the four Democratic representatives, all of whom spoke against the ban. Outside the event, a small group of protesters held up their signs and chanted anti-Trump slogans.

The protests were apparently organized independently by a number of local groups, including Staten Island for Change and Bay Ridge For Social Justice.

Abdullah Younus, 26, a protester from Bay Ridge, echoed the theme that Donovan had left the residents of Bay Ridge out to dry. He said he was pretty satisfied with the protest. “We continue to disrupt the atmosphere, draw attention our cause,” he said. “There’s been a lot of cheering, not just from people here with the protest, but also people that simply came to attend.”

Not only do they breed relentlessly, they try taking over by selling halal food on the cheap. On every corner. The funds of course being used of course for “islamic” causes. In a city where cost of living is very high, sure it can be tempting. But really? There’s so much other good cheap food.

The Kensington area in Brooklyn has also been taken over by Muslims. As a matter of fact, some of the people in that neighborhood knew about 9/11 before it happened. One of the hijackers lived around the corner from my old house. My father had a friend who lived there and the day before 9/11 a Muslim woman told him not to go to work in Manhattan tomorrow. He actually worked in the WTC and that day he stayed home and was saved.

We need to cut off the left coast an the east coast then we will have a great United States,Fuck Brooklyn an all the filthy Moslems there,I don’t feel sorry for New York when you have Dumb MFers like these people,if they like these filthy Moslems so much leave an move to Saudi Arabia or any 56 other Moslem countries.

ABSOLUTELY JC, we need a wall and shark infested oceans between good people and muzslime. None, zero, not ONE damned muzslime should be found among ANY non muzslime people groups. They don’t come among us to be our friends, the ONLY reason muzslime exist is to kill steal and destroy. There needs to be severe push back real SOON.

TRAITOR Western leader God-haters Massively imported Muslims into our nations. The Goal of Western Ruling Elites: the CONQUEST of Intensely Hated CHRISTIAN nations.

The large number of imported Muslims and their leftist allies Easily Dominate the community and Loudly Protest against PATRIOTIC American politicians whose ethical goal is our Safety and Security.

It’s Very Sad that at election time, patriotic politicians are Voted Against, or Voted Out, and Muslims are voted in.

As a result of Muslim colonisation by British leaders, the English are now a minority in their own capital of London.

The new Muslim mayor of London is the son of Pakistani Muslim immigrants. The Muslim mayor is Consumed with Rabid Hate for white, native Brits.

Paul Weston, the leader of Britain’s, patriotic, political, anti-Islamisation party, Liberty GB, has been warning of our Terrible Danger from Islam for many years. He receives many death threats from Muslims and was arrested by UK police for quoting in public what Winston Churchill said about Islam.

Unfortunately folks, I believe that not all cultures including European ones have the brain span for self preservation and will become extinct like species of animals in years to come simply from the weakness of letting the the stupid elements within their own society force their politcal correctness upon the whole.Look at Norway or Sweden. Enough is enough and if you have your culture overrun with a far different one your will cease to exist.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. (Matthew 6:5–8)

Glen, I am a Christian and I highly appreciate the Bible as the WORD of God. But this is simply NOT the place for long quotes. Use the truth of it wisely to make a point occasionally, when it really does that, but don’t abuse the moderators patience. Just making a simple suggestion here.

Our President has degreed that he wants to keep us safe by calling a moratorium on people coming from the countries of our worst enemies (and there are others, no doubt). Rep. Donovan has probably sacrificed his political career to follow orders and likewise is trying to protect us.

Wish a big screen could be put up and videos from 9/11 up until today, including the gruesome ones that hide nothing, can be shown to these people. Plus a documentary I watched last night that detailed the plan of the Muzzslimes to conquer the world. Bet most of these idiots would get sick to their stomachs. East and West coast ones are the worst.

Well, not just Bay Ridge, Brooklyn – this sort of eye sore, and blight took place in Dearborn and Hamtramck, MI, and I bet tens of other places which has let in the muslim hordes in their thousands. These places forever lose their one time charm, filled with kabab stalls, black walking pillar boxes, mosques, and the incessant call to prey over amplifiers. Gone would be the peal of Church bells on Sundays, with most Churches being converted to Wahhabi indoctrination centers, gone would be the once good schools, gone would be the quality of life, and gone the native inhabitants of the area! This NEVER happens with the migration of any other demographic or religious groups – except muslims! Rather than close our eyes and pretend that there is no problem, it is time we recognize it, and take steps to ensure that this kind of radical change does not happen. It takes the whole community coming together. A decade back I remember a small town in TX organizing pig races adjacent to an islamic indoctrination center to drive them out of town. I do not remember what became of it, but small steps to ensure that the muslims never reach critical mass in our neighborhoods.

Next up: No go zone for Bay Ridge. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 50s. All the neighbors knew each other. We stood up for one another. We weren’t uncomfortable in our own neighborhoods. Knowing what we know now about the how the muzzies really feel about us, it’s only a matter of time before the inevitable occurs. The libtards will be attacked first, and as has happened in Europe, they STILL won’t get it!

Just because there are some screaming leftists that are very vocal & agressive, doesn’t mean they are the majority.
Representative Dan probably supports Trumps Muslum ban BECAUSE of his constituents & knowledge of Izslime!

What total, absolute, complete morons!
What do these young women demonstrators, with all their naked facial skin and shameless head hair, think is going to happen to them when their darling savages completely take over? Don’t they ever read anything more challenging about Islam than their equally stupid little friends’ tweets?

Eweeeeeeee every one of those pictures turned my stomach. Putrid evil in every one of them. The nasty ignorant/evil soci/commie peoplr are every bit as twisted and perverted as the ugly stinking muzslime themselves. Muzslime do NOT belong and do NOT deserve to be in OUR country. I will never trust anyone who declares they have muzslime friends or muzslime co workers whom they like. As far as I am concerned these people are more dangerous than the muzslime themselves. They are giving the deadly muzslime virus a safe haven among us. A muzslime will murder them one day too. There is nothing more dangerous than a deadly virus that has a viable, safe, protected place to incubate then break out at will and killl thousands, maybe millions. There are those right here among us that will harbor muzslime. Evil and treacherous people will offer a thin veil of covering for the evil Devils of izslime to the detriment of every one around them.
